Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS08-41052-2 Cat8.1 5m Yellow

The ShiverPeaks BS08-41052-2 Cat8.1 5m Yellow networking cable is a high-performance patch cable designed for short-run, high-bandwidth connections. It meets the Cat8.1 specification with F/FTP shielding and terminated RJ-45 connectors, providing compatibility with standard Ethernet ports while supporting demanding data transmission requirements. The bright yellow jacket improves visibility and cable management in both home and office environments.

Advantages

This cable combines the Cat8.1 performance level with foiled/fully-paired (F/FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity at high frequencies. The 5 meter length balances reach and low latency for rack-to-desk or equipment-to-switch connections. RJ-45 terminations ensure plug-and-play compatibility with existing network hardware, and the durable outer jacket enhances mechanical protection and ease of routing.

Suitable for

• Cable runs between network switches, patch panels and edge devices within the same room or rack
• High-speed data transfers, server connections and virtualized environments requiring low latency
• Home offices and small-to-medium business workspaces where cable visibility and organization are desired

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 standard supporting high-frequency transmission
• Shielding: F/FTP (foil for overall + foil for each twisted pair) to limit interference
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends for standard Ethernet ports
• Length: 5 meters for medium-range connections
• Jacket color: Yellow for easy identification and routing
• Cable use: Designed for 25G/40G-ready infrastructure and high-bandwidth Ethernet applications where Cat8.1 is appropriate

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router, server or network interface) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the connected device. Ensure both ports support the required speed and duplex settings. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and minimize exposure to sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For best performance, maintain appropriate bend radius and avoid tightly coiling the cable.

Recommendations

Use this Cat8.1 F/FTP cable for short to medium fixed installations where high bandwidth and reduced interference are required. Verify network equipment compatibility with Cat8.1 characteristics and maintain organized labeling to take advantage of the cable's high visibility.
